CQE Volunteer Training and Clinic – June 13th and 14th

Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday, June 14th. We’re very excited to be providing opportunities for ex-offenders in Summit County to take a step toward gaining employment and independence!

We are looking for students to volunteer from 9:00a-11:45a on Saturday, June 14. The clinic will be held at The Mount Calvary Baptist Church 442 Bell St. Akron. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.

There will be a volunteer training on Friday, June 13 at the law school. The training will take place between 1:00 and 6:00 — the exact time will be determined by a poll of the students who will be participating in training. The time you’re at training will count toward your pro bono limited means hours as well. 1Ls are welcome to attend this training and volunteer at the clinic!!

If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please e-mail Alecia at ANB77@zips.uakron.edu. You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.
